This essay incites reflection about philosophy in the insular Caribbean, disregarding the linguistic differences, cultural influences and imperial controls that characterize the region. In the face of the Eurocentric academic tradition and the traditional notion of philosophy itself—"the dominant mode of thinking" reinforced by the Spanish conquest, slavery and colonialism—there arises a Caribbean philosophical thought; a unique philosophy based on common themes, concepts and theories about the historical realities, the experiences and the lives of the peoples of the region who "never surrendered to the conqueror's binary indulgence." This essay points to the need to excise the colonial perspective operative in philosophy that eclipses the thought that has taken place in the islands, since the demise of the colonial regime in some of them did not put and end to the symbolic and cultural reach of modern colonialism in the political, cultural, ideological, intersubjective and, certainly, philosophical spheres. Special attention is devoted in the text to the work of Frantz Fanon, whose philosophy is firmly aligned with revolutionary practice and transformation, a paradigm of Caribbean thought.
